If you're shipping an empty SNES box folded is probably not the worst way to go. At least that way it doesn't get damaged. Shipping it empty is pointless in the first place, but that's in the item descrption. The manual not fitting is the bigger crime here, that's really lackluster
I got the Japanese version of the box because I like those more :c
Also the manual is in Japanese too, don't know why they didn't resize it

Might as well toss it into the recycle bin for what it is worth.
2001. I looked it up and she basically got an undisclosed settlement. Her lawyer said she could go to a Toyota dealership and pick any car she wanted with the money she won. So it ended on a good note for her.

That's kinda what I was thinking. It's dumb that the manual doesn't fit, but there's no way all of these people thought "physical game box" meant an actual copy of the game, despite the absurd price.

Well... at least I won't have to pay gargantuan brazilian import taxes for a empty box when it arrives... I think...

there's two box, an english and japanese box! On top of that, for thoses who selected physical disc (it was an addition, you could choose that or the USB drives with the game in it), a disc case is supposed to come with it

There is a saying here that really translate what Mighty no 9 has become
I expected nothing and still left disappointed

but with MN9 people's expectation were high given the legacy they were pitching
After a few years your expectations kinda hit the gutter. I think most people who opted for physical rewards actually did start to expect nothing, to say nothing of the 3DS/Vita backers.

If you go on ebay and buy a game box, that's how it will arrive. It's the easiest way to safely ship them.
Now, the manual not even fitting in the box... LOL. Why the fuck?

Apparently this happened back in 2001, so probably not even a tire. On the other hand it seems there was a settlement, so she probably got more than the Yoda, perhaps even a car indeed.

The irony here is that they have fucked up more than what Capcom has done in recent time. (Not to say that Capcom isn't any better)

Uh, it's always been an empty box, no? The Amplitude KS was the same way. They shipped out a PS2-style box for a digital game.

Well, they won't be using Inafucking himself, and I believe that will be enough to assure the quality of those games.

Is sending assembled boxes a new concept now? Haven't you ever ordered a physical game online? Why is it suddenly hard now?
And why would anyone defend anything related to this game?

MN9 is giving KS projects a really terrible reputation. Such situation requires better fiscalization for later projects in the future.

If you order a physical game, there's probably something in it. Then it doesn't get smashed. This is being sent like that to keep it from getting smashed since there is nothing in it.

PS2 style as in it had a memory card holder too? Otherwise it'd just be a DVD case, right?

No, it's just a cheap DVD case. It has PS2-styled artwork, though.

I mean, I got what the KS committed to. I'm just conflicted as to whether to put the thing together.
It'll just be a reminder of something I'm not happy about, so why do that to myself? Lesson learned, the game wasn't really any good, the delays were awful. And they only fooled me once, so it's still shame on them.
Glad it's done, now I don't have the oddball back of the head "when the fuck" anymore. Like getting a game back from a shitty ex-roommate or something.

how come I never saw this

Still don't get why anyone is mad about it not having a physical game.
There was never ever ever ever ever a reward tier for a physical copy of the game.
Like, read the paragraph below. They're not hiding the fact that there is no game because it was always promised to be a digital game. It wasn't until deep silver decided to publish that physical games became a thing, loooooooong after the kickstarter had ended. They never misled anyone, you just foolishly pledged without reading.
That's on you for not reading what you were paying 60 bucks for. I knew exactly what I was paying for when i pledged that tier.

Samus Returns looks very ugly but its smooth, at least say Kirby or Castlevania 3D
I was clear on the fact that it was just a box when I pledged, I don't think there was anything that implied there was going to be more to it. A flattened hunk of cardboard is a little surprising but I think that the reactions people would have had when they got their squished game box would have been even worse. The only weird thing about this is that the manual doesn't fit in the box.

In fact, at the time, this empty box was pretty much the closest thing there was to a physical version of the game.

Then don't pledge $60 or have better reading skills. It clearly states box.

Thank you.
It didn't take a year but it was close to it. My order was fulfilled around the 9-month mark.
I canceled my order for the vinyl after they kept delaying it without communication. Fuck Iam8bit.

It did seem really clear to me at the time that they were shipping an empty box and manual. I can't hate on them for that.
Now making a manual that won't even fit into the matching region's box? That's embarrassing.

Of course, whilst that image does confirm that a physical copy of the game was never promised, it STILL contains an outright lie. Namely that the manual would be shipped to you inside the box, when in reality it was not only sent seperately with a flat-packed box, but isn't even capable of fitting inside the box once assembled.Still don't get why anyone is mad about it not having a physical game.
